Summary

‘Mad Moment’ is a fantastic example of the ever-popular Sadler 29. If you fancy dipping your toe in the world of boat ownership, then look no further than this one. Her 29 feet packs a lot of useful space whilst her equipment list means that you will have nothing to buy, apart from provisions, to go and enjoy safe sailing with friends and family. Whether your new to boating or wanting to downsize you will find her easy to handle and very responsive.
The previous owners had her from new and spared no expense in maintaining the boat. Her current owners have carried this on so whoever is lucky enough to get her will have trouble free boating for many years to come.
She is the bilge keeled version so ideal for exploring the shallower areas of our beautiful coastline. Powered by a Bukh DV20 diesel, Kiwi prop, Copper coated hull, full cockpit canopy, full winter canopy, cabin heating, comprehensive sail wardrobe and hot and cold pressurised water.
